That is a good question, if you look at past franchise moves in the NHL, they had very obvious weaknesses. Atlanta(twice), Quebec, Winnipeg, California, Cleveland, Kansas City, Minnesota, and Colorado are not really in any way comparable to Calgary. Pittsburg in the pre-Crosby years was the closest but the NHL was very patient with them and they never moved.
